Bio
Name: Denis Descheneaux Age: 40 Character: Z0D Corp: Rubycom Matrix Alliance: United Corporation of Modern Eve CSM Affiliation: Take Care Specialization: Market and Industry
For the last 20 years I have worked in the IT field in Canada where I was born, Germany, former Yugoslavia, Haiti and now live and work in the United Kingdom.
In EVE, I have been running my own corporation and alliance for the past 3 years, and I have been active in heavy industry and working the market. I have traveled all over New Eden and engaged in a broad array of activities. While I operate mostly out of High-Sec, I maintain good diplomatic relationships with other corporations and trade organisations.
Take Care
Take Care has been a CSM organisation originally founded by Ankhesentapemkah in CSM1, and has held a seat on the Council ever since. Its purpose is to give players a direct voice in the CSM process. I do not run for CSM to stroke my ego, or to serve my own ingame interests or that of my alliance. I am committed to represent the EVE players to the best of my abilities, just like Ankhesentapemkah and Erik Finnegan have done before me. This means you can participate, and your ideas and feedback is taken serious. Contact a Take Care representative and learn how you can get involved!
Market and Industry
I consider myself a veteran in this department of the game, and we all know that the trading and industry have been waiting for improvements for a long time now. Quantum Rise was supposed to be the industry expansion, but as the CSM and the players noticed, few actual improvements have made it into the game. The CSM has managed to wring a concession out of CCP: From now on, each expansion will have a dedicated industry slot assigned to it. I intend to work closely with CCP to bring up industry and market related issues, and will do my best to make sure important industry issues do not get buried.
The contracting system could use upgrades to include shares and build/invention jobs so it becomes possible for players to auction off their services. The courrier contracts are still limited to 120 m3, and despite the CSM already bringing this up since the very beginning, CCP still has not improved the situation. Being able to contract the transportation of a ship from point A to point B to people being able to fly it would also make a nice addition to the contract system.
In regards to corporations and orders, I'd like to see a new role introduced which allows corp members to modify corporation orders, so a corporation can really become a trade syndicate. There should also be a market system to trade shares.
On the research and manufacturing side, the interface is in a dire need of a rework to reduce repetive actions. A queue system for jobs should be added, with a 24 hour limit just like the skill queue, so there are no more jobs running out while you are asleep.
Mining should also receive some improvements. I am aware that not all players wish to pay constant attention to EVE, and mining is a relaxing activity for some. I do believe however that mining should become more interesting for those that want to, which include features such as the often-mentioned planetary ring mining, hidden belts, multi-ore roids, and ore veins which need to be found before being harvested.

Edited by: Z0D on 04/11/2009 20:04:34 Player Justice
I strongly support systems that allow players to deal with crime and punishment. Player policing I mentioned above. But also bounty-hunting should be a viable career, where it should be a solid system for players to bring justice to criminal individuals that wronged them. Bounty payout should be linked to the value of the ship being destroyed, to prevent players cashing in their own bounties. In addition, kill rights should be tradable, so that players, who are relatively defenseless, can hire a pilot which can avenge them. There should be a market for killrights and bounties, so that players, who wish to pursue the bounty-hunting career, can do so without too much effort.
Insurance System
Currently, the insurance system is static and NPC driven, one of the few parts of the economy of EVE that has not been liberated. This has caused inconsitencies regarding the gap between T1 and higher techlevel ships, as well as insurance payout of T1 ships which does not reflect the actual market value of these ships, which results in an artificial price floor on ships (i.e. if the market price of a ship falls below a certain price, it becomes profitable to self-destruct them for insurance money), as well as a large ISK-faucet.
While we have had this insurance system for a long time, and it is somewhat adequate despite the downsides, there should be systems in place for player-driven insurance schemes to be competetive, just like any other part of EVE. In particular, the T2 and T3 insurance market should be opened up for player-run insurance schemes, based on actual market value. Game mechanics should be implemented to support this, so that insurances can actually fight to get their money back. In addition, while I believe suicide ganking should be a valid tactic, I believe that ships destroyed by the police on a warrant (CONCORD or players) should not pay out insurance.

Reading these forums is kinda like watching a car crash is super slo-mo. Fascinating at first, but rapidly becoming appalling... yet you can't quite tear yourself away!

I'd like to endorse this candidate, Z0D is professional and has a great amount of knowledge regarding the game mechanics. I also believe he will be a truly independent CSM and actually serve the players.
As FW veteran, I appreciate what Take Care has done so far especially regarding hammering CCP to fix the lag, but Z0D, could you please focus more on the PVP aspect of FW and not the silly complexes and everything that's wrong with them? Almost all FW players hate or don't care about the complexes so I don't think that that should have any priority. FW is for PVP not stupid PVE mechanics.

I support Z0d in his campaign.
I've always found him at least semi-reasonable :) and open to discussion. If elected, I hope he won't forget some of the pod-pilots' long-standing griefs, such as being able to search in containers from a distance and warp-to-zero under autopilot.
There are people out here who aren't all that interested in pvp! I hope that we will see a little balance thrown into the game. Suicide ganks and gate-camps can get ridiculous.

Ah Z0D,
And once again I see you delve into a new frontier. One would never accuse you of doing any thing at less than all out full throttle so I would expect you to excel at this task with the same vigor and flair that you have for the past 4 years that IÆve know you. In my travels though out Eve, IÆve never crossed another soul with the shear drive to master something as I have seen with you. 23hr a day, you can be found on line. And even though youÆre from Canada I wonÆt hold it against you and so you have my vote!

Vote For Z0D He knows Eve like the backside of his hands. As others have said he is always reachable and takes time to help individuals learn to strive in the sandbox we all can EvE.
Remember to VOTE everyone counts!

I have had the pleasure to know ZOD for the past year during my time with eveonline. Zod is a knowledgeable player who engages in a variety of aspects of the game and in my opinion would be a suitable candidate for the position of CSM. Good luck to all canditates.

I have been a supporter of the take care party since it started. I supported and advised both the previous take care CSM members, ankh and eric. I have known Z0D in game for a good while now and he is the perfect successor to eric. His knowledge of industry and markets is probably only eclipsed by Chribba. His policies are sound and carry on in the direction set out by ankh and eric and I will be happy to lend my full support and advice to Z0D and the take care party once again.
I especially like that we will continue to push to make lowsec a relevant part of the game, as it is currently being overlooked whilst the focus on gameplay is generally on empire, 0.0 and faction wars. Whilst all these should continue to evolve, lowsec should not be overlooked.

Quite possibly the best friend one could have when it comes to manufacturing and trade. Helpful, resourceful and extremely knowledgeable.
